George Lough, PhD on Somatic Experiencing.  Mental Help Net (www.mentalhelp.net) presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (wisecounsel.mentalhelp.net), hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. Clinical psychologist Dr. George Lough talks about an approach to trauma known as Somatic Experiencing. Dr. Lough says that Somatic Experiencing is not therapy, as it is not really talk oriented. He explains that you do talk, but it is not story oriented, where you are telling the linear narrative of what happened to you in a particular experience and because you back off as soon as there are signs of emotional arousal, and to bring the client back into their body, back into their breath, and to let their nervous system calm down. There is a release of tension and the psychologist lets them have that experience.
